[#0000FF]Congrats on scoring a floatation ride. Now the fun begins. If you can provide a pic and/or a make and model of your new toon we can probably offer more insight into the plusses and minuses.
My tube is my preferred water ride. But it is not for everybody. Your typical fishing spot, method of fishing and species should help you decide what is best for you. Also, what kind of vehicle do you have for transporting it...etc.
I am attaching a checklist of features and advantages for both tubes and toons.
As far as casting...I do fish with lures a lot. No problem once you get used to riding close to the water. A toon gives you higher seating for both visibility and fishing...better line control. Also, if you are a fly flinger the higher seating of a pontoon makes a very noticeable difference.
